Honestly, the whole rear end of that thing makes me weep. Not crazy about the fork and the headtube, but it's still the sexiest thing in existence. With all that fillet it must weight a ton, but who cares...

Yeah, I sorta thought it was quite probably some other filler material... It's better that way, for sure. My knowledge of framebuilding is absolutely zero, BTW.

Ok, I admit I was wrong, but only partially wrong....

From the side that 'Nago is ridiculously, insanely sexy. Having briefly owned a geared TT bike with a similar relationship of bars to seat, I'm pretty sure I couldn't ride it without a neck brace, but it looks stupidly good.
